Not a photo from one episode of “Spanky and Our Gang”, this shot from my grandmother’s photos is labeled “School Band 1937”. My Dad is in the front, farthest to your left holding the triangle. The triangle? Yep. Percussion was his life. Come to think of it, there are no instruments in view that are not percussion. The tambouriners dominated the sounds of 1937.
